|October 24, 1985
Resumen
El proceso de empalme de pre-ARNm requiere tres elementos clave: el sitio de empalme de 5', la secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme de 3', y el punto de ramificación de ARN. Estas secuencias son cruciales para iniciar la reacción de empalme, incluso antes de que ocurra la escisión del sitio de empalme de 3'.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Genética La genética.
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
Sus antecedentes:
- El empalme del pre-ARNm es un proceso biológico fundamental.
- El empalme se produce en una vía de dos pasos que involucra la escisión y la ligadura.
- Los intrones se extirpan como estructuras lariat.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de la secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme de 3' en el inicio del empalme.
- Para determinar los elementos de secuencia requeridos para la escisión del sitio de empalme de 5' y la formación de lariat.
Principales métodos:
- El estudio se centró en el análisis de la vía de empalme del pre-ARNm.
- Investigó la necesidad de la secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme 3' para eventos de empalme temprano.
Principales resultados:
- La hendidura en el sitio de empalme de 3 'no es necesaria para los pasos iniciales de empalme.
- Una parte de la secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme de 3 'es esencial para la escisión del sitio de empalme de 5'.
- La secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme de 3' es necesaria para la formación de lariat.
Conclusiones:
- En los eucariotas superiores, al menos tres elementos de secuencia inician el empalme: el sitio de empalme de 5 ', la secuencia de consenso del sitio de empalme de 3 ', y el punto de ramificación del ARN.
- Estos elementos funcionan en las primeras etapas del empalme, antes de la escisión del sitio de empalme de 3'.

RNA Splicing
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...
Pre-mRNA Processing
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl guanosine). This 5’ cap helps the...

Alternative RNA Splicing
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...
